Hello, hello family!
It's been a kind of a slow week but Halloween was
oodles of fun and the weekend exploded with goodness!
We got to stay together as a zone all day for
Halloween. Apparently missionaries have been blamed for things on Halloween so
we spent all day having zone conference and then dinner and some fun at our
Stake President's house. We got to watch a MOVIE! It was so exciting!!! ha-ha
We watched Ephraim's Rescue which is a really good one - I'd definitely
recommend it! I feel spoiled with all of the incredible missionaries in my zone
that I get to be surrounded by!
Saturday night we got such incredible news, it's the big miracle for the week.
IMANI IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON
SATURDAY!!!! Imani is ten years old and has been taught by
the missionaries for 6 months. She has been wanting to get baptized for the
longest time but she needed permission from her dad and he wouldn't give it
because he didn't feel like she understood the commitment well enough. A
miracle happened and Saturday night her dad gave her permission to get baptized!!! We are SO
excited!!!! She is the sweetest little girl!
Sunday was just overwhelmingly incredible! We got to make an appearance in
primary and answer questions the kids have about mission life and what they can
to do be missionaries. I was blown away by these kids who have already shared
the gospel with some of their friends! Children are wonderful!
Sunday night was our missionary fireside! The Washington Tacoma mission is a
singing mission and we are famous for giving firesides for all of the stakes in
our area. Last night was the first one of the season! It was very special and
so incredibly powerful! We sang with all of our hearts and some missionaries
bore their testimonies. It was a beautiful night. "Amazing Grace" is
our mission theme song and it is so powerful every time we sing it together as
a mission!
What was even better than the fireside though was
probably the opportunity and Sister Phillips, Sister Sandau, and I had to ride
to and from the fireside with President and Sister Weaver! On the way there
they were a little stressed, but on the way home we had so much personal time
with them to talk and laugh and learn! It was such a special experience for me
to be with two such powerful people! When we finally got to our car, we were on
conference call with the whole mission so we got to stay with president and
Sister Weaver for conference call too. It was so different and powerful being
in the same car as the weavers as they addressed the whole mission. I just felt
like the luckiest girl in the world this weekend!
Scripture for the week: Alma 13: 27-29 SO good!
It has been such a blessing to have mom's
scriptures on my mission! As I read I get to read her notes and it puts a whole
new, sweet perspective on the scriptures I am reading!
I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic
week! And a happy, happy birthday to my beautiful sister ALI! I LOVE YOU!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL
Love,
Sister Tingey
